The Project-Based MBA Program at Westminster University

Westminster University's online Project-Based MBA program is designed for those who want to master the abilities executives need to become leaders in their respective fields from the comfort of their homes. In this program we understand that what you know is important but that what you can do with what you know is crucial to your success.

Who the Project-Based MBA Program Is For

The online Project-Based MBA program is perfect for working professionals who are looking to take the next step in their career. Unlike a traditional on-campus MBA program, the Project-Based MBA program is taught in an interactive, online format that you can complete around your personal and professional schedule.

Project-Based MBA Plan of Study 

This program is also taught in an interactive, online format, meaning you can complete projects around your personal and professional schedule to make degree completion more flexible and convenient while still having meaningful interactions with faculty and peers.
